Top 5 WWE Events outside the USA

#1 1997 Survivor Series (Montreal, Canada)

This event will always be remembered for the Montreal

screwjob

It was a tough call to choose the best event outside the USA. Finally, I chose this over Summerslam 1992 because what transpired here will be remembered 100 years later as well. Yes, you guessed it right. The infamous Montreal Screwjob took place.

Eight days before Survivor Series, Hart signed with WWE's rival company WCW for $3 million per year.

Many believed McMahon advised him so because he feared for his own promotion. Moreover, he also feared that Hart might take the WWE Title with him to WCW.

The other story going into this show was Steve Austin’s health. Austin was one of the rising superstars of WWE and Owen Hart halted his run.

Three months earlier at Summerslam, Owen Hart botched a Tombstone Piledriver resulting in a broken neck and temporary paralysis.

So, you had two legit storylines running in the world of kayfabe. A quite interesting background for the Montreal crowd.

Austin was very much restricted in his match as he didn't take any bumps on his back. Many believe that it was even dangerous for him to wrestle four minutes. Nonetheless, Austin won it by giving a thunderous "Stunner."

In the other match, Michaels locked in the Sharpshooter on Hart. Hart definitely didn't like the taste of his own medicine and tried to break it. He didn't tap out but the referee Earl Hebner went for the bell nonetheless.

We would later learn that Mr. McMahon made the call to the dismay of Hart and the crowd. No one in attendance will tell you about the classic match they had. All everyone will remember is Vince screwing and the Hitman spitting straight on his face.
